Peter Spani was 15th century nobleman from Albania who controlled a territory between Shkoder and Drivast and one of the members of the League of Lezhë.

Family

Petar Span was a member of Span family of a Greek origin. The name of the family is derived from the Greek word spanos (Template:Lang-el) which means beardless.

There are several different notable Spans of 14th century not necessarily mutually related.

League of Lezhë

Peter Spani attended a meeting of several noblemen from Albania held in Lezhë in March 1444 when they allied themselves into a League of Lezhë. The League of Lezhë was founded by:

1. Lekë Zaharia (lord of Sati and Dagnum) and his vassals Pal Dukagjin and Nicholas Dukagjini
2. Peter Spani (lord of the mountains behind Drivasto)
3. Leke Dushmani (lord of Pult)
4. George Stresi Balsha with John and Gojko Balsha
5. Andrea Thopia with nis nephew Tanush Thopia
6. George Arianiti Thopia Comneni
7. Theodor Corona Musachi
8. Stefan Crnojević with his sons

In 1451 after Alfonso signed the Treaty of Gaeta with Skanderbeg, he signed similar treaties with Peter Spani and other chieftains from Albania: Gjergj Arianiti, Ghin Musachi, George Stresi Balsha, Pal III Dukagjini, Thopia Musachi, Peter of Himara, Simon Zanebisha and Carlo Toco.
